Vesna Tenodi is a nominee for the NSW Human Rights Award 2013

An archaeologist, artist and writer, Vesna has been campaigning to ensure human rights and civil liberties for all Australians, in particular the rights of Australian non-Aboriginal artists to create art without censorship, and for Australian archaeologists to explore the past without interference from politicians and lawyers.
Within her campaign for freedom of intellectual and artistic expression, she just lodged an official complaint with the Office of the Legal Services Commissioner, against the Arts Law Centre of Australia and their lawyers, alleging that they violated the rights of Australian non-Aboriginal artists, promoted unlawful censorship, and encouraged Aboriginal violence.
